A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY WILL BE IN PLACE FOR FOND DU LAC AND SHEBOYGAN COUNTIES FROM 4 AM UNTIL NOON MONDAY. IN THESE AREAS, LIGHT FREEZING RAIN MAY CAUSE SLICK CONDITIONS ON ROADS AND SIDEWALKS.
Our next storm system arrives in the early morning hours Monday. By 3am, we will start to see rain showers moving in, with widespread rain falling by 7am. With temperatures hovering close to freezing, there is a chance for a brief period of freezing rain as moisture initially moves in. But as temperatures quickly warm, we should quickly transition to all rain. Rain will be moderate to heavy at times, especially through the morning, which will likely cause slowdowns for the morning commute.
Around 1-1.5" of rain is expected across southeastern Wisconsin. During this time, we could see some snow and sleet mixed in for areas north of Milwaukee. Areas like Fond du Lac and Sheboygan counties could see light accumulating snow, and sleet and freezing rain could reach as far south as Dodge, Washington, and northern Ozaukee counties. If you live in this area, be prepared for changes in precipitation type on Monday, and possible slick areas.
For most of southeastern Wisconsin the rain slows in the afternoon becoming scattered showers with some snow and sleet mixed in. Minimal accumulation expected. Additionally, winds will be strong at times on Monday with gusts up to 40 mph.
There will likely be rises on area rivers and streams due to rainfall and melting snow. Ice jams are possible as well. Ponding water on roads may occur, especially in areas where street drains are clogged.
Breezy weather continues Tuesday morning, but winds will ease in the afternoon. Skies will be partly cloudy, expect highs in the mid 40s.
A light wintry mix returns early Wednesday, and winds will pick back up. Highs remain in the 40s.
Thursday is dry and cooler with highs back in the 30s.
